Explanation: Lets have a look see at the current technology levels and see how far down they can actually see ok.
[NOTE: We are at least 50yrs behind the bleeding edge technology available to black secret projects run by the powers that be elite. Please TRUST me on that ok]
From and care-of Google search engine, the AI blurb it gave me ... ==>
So now we have that basic unrefined resulting answer we can start speculating at what the same technology 50+ years from now will be able to achieve ok. And that will give us a spectrum from most plausible to least plausible in range and where we each decide to tend to fall upon that spectrum can be revealed and then further debating points can be made to counter prior held debating points etc.
Personal Disclosure: I am going to say the most we can logically, reasonable and rationally hope for, as far as improvements to this technologies ability to its job, would be to double (+100%) its depth reading capacity and to also penetrate a far wider range of soil types (lets say double the current number of soil types ) with an increased accuracy (assuming an accuracy of currently better than 50% right reading / misleading 50% reading, & I suggest that a +10% to right reading & -10% to a misleading reading with a +5% in current accuracy is fair) and less margin of error (I suggest an error margin of +/- 0.5% in the readings output data)!
Therefor 30m becomes 60m and the number of preferred soil types is double from at least 2 (sand and granite) to 4 (+heavy clay and +limestone) and its increased accuracy would go from 60% read right and 40% misleading reading to 65% read right and 35% misleading with an error margin of +/1 0.5% in the readings output data! <== And thats the best we can hope for in +50 years time ahead.
Now if we look optimistically and use the techs least plausible improvements levels, as opposed to looking at it pessimistically and using the most plausible non improved levels, we would be dabbling in the land of pure Woo!
I personally don't mind that level of Woo! ok. BUT your mileage may vary and thats aok, as long as you can explain your reasons for holding such a position, then its all good!
I think and feel that Woo! is a very important view to at least entertain the idea and concepts of future advancements so as to get an idea of the biggest reasonable picture that we can all entertain together with.

Quote:Ground Penetrating Radar Depth by Application
The depth to which ground penetrating radar (GPR) can see downwards varies based on several factors, including soil composition, antenna frequency, and the size of the target being located. Here's a breakdown of the expected depths based on different applications:
- [b]Utility Locating[/b]: Mid-range antennas (around 250–400 MHz) can typically reach depths of 3 to 10 feet (1–3 meters) in dry sandy soils.

[b]1[/b]
- [b]Concrete Scanning[/b]: High-frequency antennas (like 1600 MHz) can penetrate around 4 to 12 inches (10–30 cm) in concrete, depending on slab thickness and reinforcement.
[b]1[/b]
- [b]Environmental and Geological Surveys[/b]: Low-frequency antennas (50 to 250 MHz) can reach depths of 15 to 30 feet (4.5 to 9.1 meters) in clean, dry conditions.
[b]1[/b]
- [b]General GPR[/b]: In ideal conditions, GPR can reach depths of up to 100 feet (30 meters) in low-conductivity materials like dry sand or granite. (OL's EDIT: VERY SIGNIFICANT RESULT of 100ft or 30m max in prefered soil types such as dry sand and granite!)

These depths are general estimates and can vary based on the specific conditions and materials encountered during the GPR survey. It's important to consider these factors when interpreting GPR data and determining the depth of penetration.
